Chapter 247 Visit the Puppet Old Man!
In fact, although this area is lifeless, it still has some vitality, but the only vitality seems a bit fake.
After entering the dead wood forest, the group soon saw some short puppets coming and going in the forest.
They are of different sizes and shapes, with faces of adults, old people and children, but they all look simple overall.
They are like the robots in the Iron Magic City, able to move freely, but they look more intelligent and seem to have real life.
Feng Xi even saw a few puppets that looked like children playing and fighting, which made him think of Pinocchio involuntarily.
Then they saw that these puppets seemed to be doing a job.
Digging, watering, and planting trees.
"What are they planting trees for?"
"The bodies of the puppets are made of wood from these ghost trees. Of course, you need to plant more, so that they can also be used when replacing body parts."
"Oh~"
·········
The group slowly entered the city, walking in a city made entirely of wood, with a feeling of traveling through time and space.
To be honest, the scenery of Giant Wood Castle is far inferior to that of Iron Demon City. It is too simple and you will soon get tired of it.
However, they came here to retreat and break through, not to travel, so it doesn't matter.
After booking a wooden house restaurant as a place to stay, the few people did not start retreat immediately, but went to the center of Giant Wood Castle under the leadership of Mu Lanyan.
When they were in Iron Demon City, Senior Ji's consciousness was controlling the machine body to guard the Tongyuan venue, and it was not convenient to meet them, so they did not visit his body.
But now that they came to Giant Wood Castle, of course they had to visit Senior Huang who was in charge here first.
Even if they had not received his favor and care, as students of the academy, it was basic etiquette to visit the host when they came to the other party's territory.
Anyway, it won't take long, and they won't miss an hour or two even if they are eager to retreat.
"Senior Huang's real name is Huang Mingyuan. He is the leader of the five demigods of the Abyss. He is the strongest and has the power of the entire Demon Abyss in his hands. Remember to be respectful and don't offend the senior."
After they came to a small workshop that looked a bit shabby, Mu Lanyan reminded them in a deep voice, but her warning eyes were always staring at Feng Xi.
It seemed to remind everyone, but in fact it was a warning to Feng Xi not to make trouble.
Feng Xi's nose was crooked with anger: Do I look so ignorant?
How could this be! How could I, such a serious and beautiful boy, bear this grievance!
It seems that I must find an opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her know who is the head of the family!
"Why are you looking at me? Senior Huang and I hit it off at first sight. He will never blame me no matter what. He has praised me more than once as a promising young man, the backbone of Daxia, and a pillar of the country! You are worried! There is nothing to be afraid of!"
Mu Lanyan was speechless: How can I be at ease with you like this?
Fortunately, she didn't say anything more, and knocked on the door of the small workshop in front of her:
"Knock knock knock~"
"Senior Huang, Lan Yan brought a few juniors to visit, is it convenient for you?"
As soon as the voice fell, the wooden door creaked open automatically, and a low and vicissitudes of life sounded in everyone's ears:
"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Several people looked at each other and walked in.
The inside of the workshop was the same as the outside, simple, without any strange places, and no mystery.
They didn't even need to go deep into it. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a tall old man with a long beard sitting in front of a workbench, wearing a craftsman's hat, holding tools, and skillfully making something.
Everything looked very ordinary, just an old carpenter working.
But after seeing the puppet child being assembled by his hands, everything became extraordinary again.
When they came in, the puppet was almost assembled, and when they walked in, the old man's movements also reached the last two steps.
After he pressed the puppet's head against his body, he stretched out his hand and twisted it on the top of his head, as if pulling down a silk thread, and gently pressed it on the puppet's head.
The next moment, the puppet child came to life.
He opened his eyes carved from wood, called "Grandpa" obediently, and then jumped off the table with full energy.
His movements were still relatively unfamiliar at first, but after a while he was completely proficient in the use of his limbs, no different from a child in his teens.
Feng Xi opened the Chaos Emperor's Eye and saw clearly that the old man did pull down a virtual silk thread from the void and connected it to the puppet's body.
Then more and more silk threads automatically stretched out from the puppet's body and connected with more silk threads that suddenly appeared.
The more silk threads were connected, the more realistic and flexible its movements became, until it completely controlled the body.
These silk threads gave life to a puppet!
Feng Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.
The shock he felt from this scene was almost as great as when he first saw Xiao Zhenguo's fairy paper god.
Both of them gave life to mundane things, and to some extent, they were similar in nature.
Feng Xi narrowed his eyes and retracted his gaze, and greeted his companions:
"Senior Huang, we meet again."
"Well, I said we would definitely meet again."
The old man nodded, glanced at the young people in front of him, and a trace of kindness flashed in his old and turbid eyes:
"Yes, they are all good kids, especially you, little friend Feng Xi, your strength has become much stronger. I am very pleased to see such excellent kids like you."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior. We are still far away."
"This is the most bizarre thing for you to say. You have already glimpsed the state of transformation, right?"
Senior Huang looked at Feng Xi and said lightly.
Although it was a rhetorical question, it was very sure.
Feng Xi immediately showed a bitter smile.
Is it so easy to be seen through?
Ginger is really still savvy with age!
